locomotive used on the road. and
in person operated the first engine

After an unusually long. eventful
and useful life. he passed quietly

TO MEXICAN WAR VETER
ANS.

From the Shreveport Times:
The Times feels it . duty to the
Mexican War veterans OF this Sec
ton to notify them promptly and
clearly that there is no necessity
whatever of employing lawyer to
secure the pension recently grant
ed by act Of Congress.
The proceeding required to pro
cure this pension is a very simple
one. Send to your Congressman
for the blank prepared by the PEN
sion Bureau. This will be prompt
~ forwarded. and any man with
fair Intelligence can fllit out. For
ward it to the authority designated
in this blank. and the thing is done.
Nearly all the soldiers Of the
Mexican War Lavc already received
their "bounty land" q record oil
these names has been kept. and
there is thus proof already in ex-
istence Of the war service OF most
Of the Mexican veterans.
We repeat our assurance that
there is no necessity whatever for
the employment Of any attorney,
either Mt home or at the national
capital, to secure q pension to q
Mexican veteran. Send to you,
Congressman. and lie will send you
blank application. which eau be
filed out by any man Of fair intel.
ligence.
Will our contemporaries kindly
give full circulation to the informa.
ton embodied in this article?
Referring to the Mexican Vste-
rams pension. the City Item says:
An impression prevails to some ex.
tent that the recent appropriation
for the relief Of the veterans Of the
Mexican war is unavailable, 70,
want of further action by Congress
to provide for the proper classified.
ton Of the recipients of the money
and its distribution. This ia incor.
rect. It is true. the Commissions
Of Pensions estimated for abont
500 clerks which he deemed would
be required iL the additional work
entailed upon his Office. and Con
gress gave him only 300. Blu
there is nothing iu tue law. the
regulations of the Department o,
the attentions Of The Commissioner
to support the idea that any par
ticular branch or feature of official
duty will be neglected or subjected
to an unjust discrimination. The
business of listing the Mexican
veterans and paying their pensions
will receive the same attention that
is given to other pension work.
There may be some delay on sc-
count of the accumulation OF bust
ness in the Bureau. but all are Ia
be served alike.
